We can not get the daily newspa

"Of course, that is ore view to
take of it but that is only a selfish
view. Surprising that you have
made no provision for the future In
case of accident. Would it not be
we'll for you to name some one out
side of your own family to take up
this great burden which is now
weighing you down-this money
which you say yourself has made a
slave of you-and look ,nt for 1T Z"
Have you ever considered this mat
ter seriously and settled upon good
man who would be willing to water
your stock for you, and so conduct
your affairs that nobody would get
any benefit from your vast accumu-
lations, and in every way carry out
the policy which you have inaugu-

man as you need. His shoulders are

"Thank you.' said Mr.. Gould, rs
the thermometer in the next room
suddenly froze up and burst with a
loud report. "And now, if you will
excuse me from offering my time,
which is worth $500 minute, against
yours, which l judge to be worth
about 81 per week, l will bid you
good-morning."
He then held the door open for

It is. not the first time that a
Western man has been treated with
consideration in his own section only
TO be frowned upon and frozen when
he meets the same man in New
York.
Nj. Gould is below the medium
height, and is likely to remain SO
through life. His countenahce wears
a crafty expression, and yet he al
lowed himself to be April-iooled by
a genial little party of gentlemen
from Boston, who sailed the Cen
| trail branch of the Union Pacific rail
road by holding back all the freight
FOR two weeks in order to have it en-
the road while Jay was examining
the property.
Jay Gould would attract very lit
tie attention here on the streets, but
he would certainly be looked upon
with suspicion in Paradise. A man
who would fail to remember that he
had 100000 that belonged to the
Erie road, but who does not forget
to remember whenever he paid his
own hotel bills in Washington, is the
kind of man who would pull up and
pawn the pavements within thirty
days after he got there.
After looking over the above state
ment carefully, feel called upon, in
justice to myself, to state that DR..
BurcharG did not assist me in con-
structing the last sentence.
For those boys who wish to emu
late the example of Jay Gould, the
example or Jay Gould is good ex-
ample for them to emulate.
